Review follow-ups. With run_with_helpers a one-thread rayon pool gave each
read a second core (the caller plus the worker), so --decode-threads 1 no
longer matched h5py's one core per call; such a pool now adds no helper.
Per-thread decode scratch is kept up to 1 MiB per buffer (was 4 MiB),
bounding what never-exiting pool workers hold.
